I used to never see fabric at our local thrift stores (Goodwill, Salvation Army, St. Vincent's, etc). I was always looking in the craft sections. One day I was on the search for some sheets and blankets to use for when we foster dogs for our local Animal Care & Control. Lo and behold, there on hangers near the sheets and table linens were different lengths of cotton fabric!!! So make sure you check the linens sections as I have learned that is where all the thrift stores in my city keep it!!!
